It was the emperor's fault for not being responsive enough to surrender after the first bomb. If we didn't drop the second bomb, then the first bomb would have been for nothing, because the war would continue.

We had food and water for them, which is more then their own government gave them on those remote islands. However, the japanese government gave them orders to kill themselves rather then be prisoners of a democratic government. Think about that. Really think about that.

My grandfather loaded the first A-Bomb onto the Enola Gay, on Tinian Island. Suicide Cliff was named as such because when the island was being taken by US forces, the unarmed Japs, with no threat, began to throw their own children off the edge...right before they jumped themselves. It's estimated that over 300 japanese children alone were tossed over the cliff by their own parents and friends. They were brainwashed to think we were devils. We had to end that war with Japan. Second guessing the action of a country who was attacked on her own soil, who gave proper notification before the first and the second A-bomb, is silly, isn't it? Even my 4 year old could "Monday morning quarterback" impactful decisions like this after the fact instead of putting himself in the shoes of the citizens at the time, who barried loved-ones here in the US. Although he wouldn't; he's too smart for that. I have original pictures of "Suicide Cliff" from Tinian island, where the major US airbase was.

Many of the above are not. I suggest reading "The Last Mission of WWII" by Jim Smith and Malcomb McConnell and then see what you think about dropping the bombs. I returned from the last bombing mission over Japan on the morning of Aug 15th 1945, 6 days AFTER the 2nd atomic bomb was dropped.

Who knows, what if that didn't happen and the war was still going on today?? I betcha none of us would actually be alive and speaking right now! I know it was cruel and all of the people in America were probably disgraced, though. I read a book that the bombing of Pearl Harbor disgraced a lot of Japanese Americans.
